TINA THAKRAR CONVERSES WITH HOTELIER RATAN TALDAR AND HIS DAUGHTER DOLLY TALDAR OF RAMADA BY WYNDHAM UDAIPUR RESORT & SPA AND MUMBAI HOUSE HOTELS ABOUT KEEPING THE ESSENCE OF HOSPITALITY, LUXURY, AND SUSTAINABILITY ALIVE IN A FAST-MOVING AND EVER-EVOLVING INDUSTRY

- TINA THAKRAR

With our rich history, unparalleled geography, thriving culture, and delicious food, India tops the list for many when it comes to travel and adventure. Amongst all of this, our hospitality remains unmatched. Take the ultra lavish Ramada by Wyndham Udaipur Resort & Spa - an award-winning, luxurious, and sustainable resort owned and managed by hospitality maven Ratan Taldar and his daughter Dolly Taldar.

Let’s start with the resort. It’s the epitome of hotels with everything a guest could dream of - stunning architecture and landscaping, spacious rooms with an old-world charm and contemporary facilities, eco-friendly practices such as bicycles, rainwater harvesting, solar heaters and farm-to-table dining, and innovative services like cultural shows, sports facilities and cooking sessions. Not to mention the slew of celebrities it’s hosted since its opening - Padma Shri and Olympic medal winner Vijender Singh, sarod players Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan, actresses Neha Dhupia and Mouni Roy, and flute maestro Hariprasad Chaurasia. The gorgeous setting and design has made for a fantastic backdrop for grand events such as Isha Ambani's pre-wedding festivities, Mrs. India audition rounds, and television shows like Swayamvar (featuring Rahul Mahajan) and The Bachelorette India (featuring Mallika Sherawat).
